摘要: Method and apparatus for determining causal relations between a plurality of intercommunicating nodes. In various embodiments, trace data is input that describe inter-node communication. The may include each message sent nodes timestamp indicates time at which the was sent, source identifier identifies node from destination to sent. For one or more nodes, determination be made as whether exist first set messages destined second sourced least other node. A relation function probability distribution delay values are differences timestamps in set. From processor-readable representation generated.
